Sector Kingsman

Sector Kingsman was a sector of the St. Mihiel salient on the Western Front of World War I which was the site of heavy fighting between Entente and German forces in the spring of 1918.

The 8 regiments and battalions of British, French, US, and ANZAC troops defending the salient came under attack from waves of German regiments amid a massive offensive, and they desperately held onto their trench positions while repelling continuous assaults. Eventually, they counterattacked and captured the German frontline trench, breaking a long deadlock which consisted of back-and-forth battles for the Allied trenches. By the end of the battle, the Entente had secured the German trench, albeit after suffering heavy losses.
